What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

J D Souther  -  "Natural History"  (2011)

Just released on the 5th of this month I'm on my third listening of album .. to say I'm enjoying it is somewhat of an understatement ...

Sharon Robinson - Everybody Knows

Why?

OK, Barbra Lica has cheered me up. Sharon Robinson is now relaxing my mind!

A new vinyl purchase. Magazine, Old World Charm, a live album recorded at the Roundhouse in 2009. Good performance, mediocre recording.

Throwback Thursday ?  

Another TBT..

Everyone do the numpty nump.

Many of your favourite Harry Manx here, lovely.

"Isle of Manx is the first ever Harry Manx compilation, and serves as a celebration of his tenth overall release! Including many Harry classics from his first album Dog My Cat all the way to tracks for the highly acclaimed Bread and Buddha released in 2009, Isle of Manx is sure to please fans and music lovers in general. With thirteen original tracks and two cover tunes it is a perfect doorway to the “mysticssippian” world of Harry Manx. "Canadian guitarist and singer-songwriter Harry Manx is an artist that critics have occasionally had a hard time getting their minds around. His unique amalgam of blues and other American roots music, classical Indian forms, and bits of rock, pop, and folk makes him difficult to pigeonhole, and self-appointed gatekeepers of those traditions sometimes bemoan his lack of purity, stubbornly missing the point. But Manx's trip is really quite easy to grasp: He's an accomplished and adventurous lap-slide guitarist - whether playing a National resonator, a solidbody lap-steel, a modified banjo or cigar-box guitar, or his signature 20-string Mohan Veena - and a compelling singer with a rich, warm, and soulful voice who writes intelligent and compassionate songs and puts them over with heartfelt conviction.” – Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player"

They're about £12 each plus postage from CD Japan Steve, well worth it in my opinion.

Old skool 70s hip-hop. On triple vinyl LP:

Yep, thanks Kevin, being a streamer I just might have to start making a little more use of that CD player thingy.  

Ola Gjeilo - Piano Improvisations.

Just discovered this CD on Tidal. I don't know anything about the artist, but it's a nice selection of improvised solo piano music. It's nothing like Keith Jarrett or Paul Bley. It's a bit similair to Ketil Bjornstad, I think.

Back to Jazz again with a very nice album by Lou Donaldson and Grant Green.

A great album, though the cover needs fixing.
